David Oyelowo is next up to play James Bond … after snaring the role in a forthcoming audiobook. The star of ‘Selma’, in which he played Martin Luther King Jr, was personally invited to take on the part by the estate of Ian Fleming, the creator of 007. Though it’s a rumour that has oft baffled its subject, it appears he’s now beaten Idris Elba to the accolade. Elba had long been rumoured as a possible replacement once Daniel Craig relinquishes the role of Bond, but had frequently denied any supposed meetings with Bond studio Eon. “I am officially the only person on planet Earth who can legitimately say: ‘I am the new James Bond’ – even saying that name is the cinematic equivalent of doing the ‘to be or not to be’ speech,” said Oyelowo of his appointment. “I was asked specifically by the Fleming estate, which is really special.”

Its been a long time coming but I hardly watch any zog media anymore. I suspect they will lose a lot of cash on this one. Maybe go see the Man From Uncle instead if you like spy films.
